Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It’s been quite rainy and dreary around here lately so I decided to get going on some Easter crafting this weekend. Just a little reminder that Spring is somewhere around the corner!
Remember my bunny butt bunting?
Remember my bunny butt bunting?
I guess you can say that I have a “thing” for bunny butts. I just had to add another one to the collection and came up with this cute Easter bunny canvas.
MATERIALS
- canvas {mine is 16 x 20}
- craft paint {I used Martha Stewart “Cloud”}
- vinyl or other bunny stencil {I purchased mine from the Silhouette Store. You just need to ungroup and use the one down in the corner!}
- white yarn
- scrapbook paper
- double sided tape
- twine
TO DO
- Place your bunny stencil in the middle of the canvas {mine was cut out on the Silhouette}. Make sure you adhere the edges down well so that the paint does not bleed through.
- Paint the remaining canvas with the blue paint.
- Remove the stencil exposing the white canvas.
- Make a pom pom using the white yarn. {head over here if you need a tutorial for this}
- Cut a small slit with a sharp knife {approximately 3/4 inch} in the canvas where you want the tail to go. Pull some of the yarn through until the tail stays in place.
- The top corner was looking plain so I cut a few triangles from some scrapbook paper and adhered them to the twine and the canvas with some double sided tape for a little bunting.
Sorry I don’t have any pictures of the whole process but it was late at night and my camera batteries were charging. Trust me though, it is a very simple project that can be completed within an hour!
And really…is there anything cuter than bunny butts?

Becca says
SOOOO CUTE!!!
The link you shared to the silhouette store doesn’t take us directly to the bunny silhouette, and I didn’t find it through a search in the store’s site. Could you share a link that sends us directly there?
Thanks!

Well if that isn’t one of the cutest and most simple projects I don’t know what is. Adorable. Hope I can find a bunny silhouette on Graphics Fairy to use. If not I’ll have to wing it. So glad you shared this.
Michaels has canvases on sale so guess I’ll have to get me one of size you used. Sure will be cute on my shutter shelf (better known as my faux mantel).

So cute! Thanks for the details.
I found you today through the I Should Be Mopping The Floor Linky Party, where I’m #405. I hope you will stop by my blog and leave a comment, too.

What did you adhere the stencil to the canvas with? So cute – I want to make with my granddaughters tomorrow.

This is so cute. I am featuring it on my Fab Finds Friday Round Up This Week!
Anita says
How exactly did you secure the stencil to the canvas to ensure no bleeding of the paint.
Jenn Lifford says
It was a sticky vinyl that I used but you can always use a temporary spray adhesive to hold it down too. I have also used stencils and just held them down – just don’t use too much paint and stipple the paint on around the edges rather than brushing. You can always go back over any bleeding spots with a little paintbrush afterwards too. 🙂

I can’t EVEN get over the cuteness of this. That tail on that canvas is to die for. I HAVE to make this.
Jenn Lifford says
Thanks! That’s definitely my favorite part too! 🙂
samantha says
That is the cutest! I must try this!
Jenn Lifford says
Thanks! Happy Spring!
Kathy says
Can you glue the bunny tail instead of cutting the canvas?
Jenn Lifford says
Yes, that should probably work. It might just be a little droopy.
Carlee says
I think I might have a bunny butt problem too, but don’t have the artistic mind to express it nearly as well as you! Pancakes is about as far as I’ve gone. This looks like something I might actually be able to recreate though!
DazzleWhileFrazzled says
Super cute! Since I am Silhouette-less, I’ll have to recreate this old school. Glad I have had a canvas sitting in my closet for awhile ready for something cute like this! Visiting from The Creative Gallery.
Katrin says
I love the pastel tone and the bunny is too cute! How fun for spring & easter!!!
Aliza B says
This Easter bunny canvas is super cute! I’d love for you to link up at the Creatively Crafty Link Party!

You have the best ideas!
Dee Snelson says
Hi
Do you have a bunny butt print to transfer onto a canvas?
Cheers
Dee
Jenn Lifford says
The one I used wasn’t mine so I don’t have the rights to distribute it. If you google “bunny silhouette” though, there are a ton of options that come up. 🙂
ninesix says
This is so cute! Just gave me a gift idea for my little niece! Thank you!
Sarah Ekstrom says
Imade it simpler by printing a variety of silloettes on cardstock. Then cut them out and lightly traced them on the canvas. I got a pack of 7 canvases and did this at a family gathering. It was such a perfect activity. The young kids could do it and the older ones could embellish. Grandma loved it too. They were all unique. And it was complete in a reasonable amount of time.
Jenn Lifford says
What a fun idea to do it as a family activity!
